Solarpunk fiction is a form of climate fiction, but by focusing on the changes we could make, it can move us past climate anxiety, says author and editor Sarena Ulibarri. She introduces us to five favourites: ranging from near-future to far-future, they present a collection of thought experiments in the ways humanity might yet choose to live.
If anyone is interested in non-fiction solarpunk, I recommend Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and How to Love a Forest by Ethan Tapper. I feel both are closer to long form poetry than novels. But they very much carry the solarpunk vibe and contain a call to practice.
